In September 2006 TV Azteca decided to end one of the stages that most enriched its content and attracted public that of Jose Ramon Fernandez at the head of the sports section, which led to the signs of effusiveness among his former employees that bordered on the unlikely.
David Faitelsonwho was asked by Ricardo Salinas Pliego to stay on the work team with a substantial improvement in his quality of life, recalled such an episode, which would help reinforce his feeling that going to ESPN was the best thing, since in Ajusco I did not see “revanchism” that led to committing some absurdities.
“I wanted to work at ESPN, on TV Azteca they did not treat me badlyon the contrary, because when José Ramón falls is when I do better economically. Mr. Salinas called me to tell me ‘choose a late model car, a van, which is yours. I’m not going to make you boss, it’s going to be Pablo Latapí and there’s going to be a committee below that’, but I began to feel that what José Ramón smelled like was wrong“Faitelson detailed in an interview with Toño de Valdés.
The journey to unite that took him the furthest from Azteca
He then mentioned that ‘not that there was a betrayal’but simply the people who worked together with José Ramón celebrated the end of his stage; It was an integration trip to Taxco in which it was agreed that he had to start from there.
“I lived the tragic scene there; Some comrades pass by carrying a coffin and there I say ‘what is that?’to which they responded ‘it is the era of José Ramón’… But we were part of the team, we learned with him!
“There was an absurd revenge, they played a clip of the Olympic Games and said ‘take away José Ramón’s voice’… There I said: ‘I have to go'”, added Faitelson, who would leave for the United States to live a new stage away from a company from which he left gratefuleven though he wasn’t always happy.
